I'm really interested in that kit. Could you elaborate. Is it an accuracy problem or a fit problem. I'd also appreciate hearing about the quality of R&J's stuff. I'm looking at getting their Brummbar conversion.
Thanks,
Scott

Scott, the "gap" and the error that this resin piece corrects are two separate issues.
The error on the kit part is that the transmission cover and brake hatches are located too high. This makes the top row of screws butt up against the 'bend' (weld actually which is missing too from the kit part). It is easy to fix. Refer to my web-site, I'll answer more questions there if you like.
Here's my corrected part: http://www.track-link.net/forum/site_blogs/7270 note the hatches are now closer to the front.
There's some reviews of R&J items including the Brummbar on my site too.
Paul.

Thanks Paul
That answered all of my questions. Your BLog looks really interesting. I've looked over Track-Link many times; I don't know how I missed the R&J Products review. I also registered recently and am still waiting for my confirmation.
Thanks again for the info.

You do realise that you don't actually need to register for an account on my site, eh? The forums are completely open and free, I use _trust_ rather than a log in procedure :-)

No, I didn't realise that. Nice to know. Thanks again.
